Zen not recognized anywhere on pc. Now what do I

?I have Windows media player and all that, and have done everything I have seen on this site. What do I do now?

Based on the date of your post and the fact that Windows XP SP3 came out around the same time, did you, by chance, update Windows to SP3?
I have two different PCs that my Zen V worked on for more than a year. After updating to SP3 they are no longer recognized.
Something specific to SP3 breaks Windows ability to recognize the Zen. I know it is specific to SP3 because I kept my PC up to date with ALL Windows updates (Critical, Software, Hardware), prior to SP3 and had no problems.
Something in SP3 is to blame. I have two recently updated to SP3 PCs to prove it.

Followed troubleshooting for "iPhone not found in devices" iTunes and that did not work... Now what?

That's what I tried. The 6 steps and I do not have security software on my phone. iTunes on my Mac is still giving me the warning that I need to download the latest version on my phone, and is not recognizing it in devices, which is the irony because that's what I need to actually update it

Zen not recognized, no drivers found XP

'Zen not recognized, no drivers found XPA I thought I'd share my recent experience in switching computers since I didn't find this info anywhere on Creative's site. Zen 32MB, Windows XP
. No drivers found
I vaguely recall having to do this when I bought the thing, but the drivers it needs are wpdusb.sys and wudfrd.sys and the best way to get them is to install Windows Media Player , since that forces Windows to see them. It looks like Creative has made (and posted) separate drivers for newer operating systems that don't use these type of drivers at all.
2. Unrecognized USB device
In trying to figure out why it couldn't find the drivers, the Zen stopped being recognized at all by any of my computers. A reboot - sticking the paper clip in the reset hole while powering it up - fixed that.

the ipod itself requires no special drivers and only uses the standard USB mass storage drivers
check the USB port you are using to make certain:
1) it is a high powered USB port
2) check device manager to make certain the drivers for the USB ports are functioning

If you live near an Apple Store, make a Genius Bar appointment to have the computer tested. Supposedly there is no charge for testing.

I tried installing an update to QuickTime. An error occurred and it wouldn't install. I tried removing the QuickTime program, but a window appeared telling me that a fatal error ccurred during installation and I could not remove the program. Now what?

I tried removing the QuickTime program, but a window appeared telling me that a fatal error ccurred during installation and I could not remove the program.
I think we'd better see if some other application (other than QuickTime itself) has dropped old QuickTime componentry in the system files on the PC. (If there's a version mismatch between the old componentry and the "QuickTime proper" componentry, that can create those symptoms.)
So we'll go looking for the older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view options on the PC.
1. Open My Computer from the desktop or Start menu.
2. In the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
3. Click the View tab.
4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected, and the "Hide extensions for known file types" option is unchecked.
5. Click OK.
Now in My Computer, open your C drive.
Open the "Windows" folder.
Open the "system32" folder.
What files and/or folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the file/folder name? (In a standard installation of QuickTime, you should see precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

You say you installed the Apple Mobile Device Service, is it running though? The Apple article will help you check.

4th Gen shuffle not recognized by Mac OS. What's wrong?

I've been through two 4gen shuffles within a week. Connected them to my NEW MacBook Pro, with up-to-date iTunes. Say's they're currupted. Restore won't work. Tried the connection on another Mac, same thing.
Just for the heck of it, I connected it to my work "Windows" machine and iTune for Window's recognizes it just fine. What's wrong?
This shuffle should just work on my Mac with no issues! Not happy, not happy at all.

After a trip to the Apple and over two hours with three different Apple speciaists, not luck in resolving this issue. The 4th Gen shuffle is not recognized. The Apple Store confirms that the Shuffle is fine and works on their Macs in the store.
Steps taken so far...
Removed iTunes and re-installed twice, did not resolve the issue.
Removed Symantec Norton Security Suite.
Performed an Archive Install of Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard
Ran various disk utilities, still than same. The Apple Disk utilitiy continuely shows errors on the shuffle.
Tried the shuffle on my wifes new 27" iMac, the same thing happens on her Mac.
Multiple restores through iTunes, no luck.

Look under the Store menu in iTunes for the "Check for available downloads" command and run that. You may find the track there to be downloaded. If not, and you're in the US, just look under the Quick Links on the main iTunes Store page for the Purchased link. Click that and you should be able to find and re-download the track.
If it's not there, or you're not in the US, contact the iTunes Store Customer Service department from their contact page and explain the problem to them.
Regards.

My shuffle will not connect and is not recognized anywhere

I have had my shuffle for quite awhile... just after they came out with them. Everything has been going fine with it until about a week ago I connected to update it and a window popped up that said "Your iPod may be corrupt...". Since then I have not been able to connect my shuffle to my computer, it will not charge, and is not recognized by any computer. If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it, if not I guess its time to get a new iPod. Thanks!

A good news/bad news post...
I had the same problem, with my shuffle (original
512k). I couldn't run the reset utility because the
computer (imac) wouldn't even recognize that it was
connected. I pretty much gave up on it, but last
night I plugged it into the USB port to try it one
last time - nothing happened. But I forgot to pull
it out when I shut down and this morning while I was
working suddenly the shuffle was recognized by the
computer (actually a box came up saying the device
needs to be initialized or something). I quickly ran
the reset utility, the shuffle was recognized, itunes
launched and I was able to add music. I was so
excited I decided to share the news with the forum,
but while typing this very message the shuffle
disappeared from the desktop and I got a message
saying the device was removed improperly. Now the
bad news... if I plug in the shuffle it is once again
unrecognized by the computer. But at least I got
some tunes back on it, until I buy a replacement! And
it did charge...

Hard drive and dvd are not recognized in the setup menu, what could be wrong?

The hard drive and dvd drive are not recognized on the setup menu for my Pavilion a4316f desktop computer. Could it be a failure of the controller? Can a PCI controller be used to replace the mother board controller?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

The Recovery process would erase you hard drive, and attempt to install a fresh OS. Decidely a bad choice if you wanted to save your data files. The Recovery sets are "tattoo" with the BIOS hardwafre configuration. It will not, IMHO, recognize the PCI Sata card.
You mentioned the Recovery program on the hard drive actually requested the installer of the controller (PCI card). Try running from that.
